The Hyperloop was never meant to be built. Elon Musk admitted it was all about fueling opposition to California’s high-speed rail project so it would get canceled.
He never planned to improve transportation; he just wants to keep people trapped in cars.

It’s funny you mention Toyota, since they’re lagging particularly far behind even other traditional automakers when it comes to battery electric vehicles. (Some executive was biased against them or something, so Toyota’s spent the last decade trying to push hybrids and fuel cell EVs instead.)
I think that there’s a reason for it, and I think that that reason is that they’ve been selling battery vehicles for 25 years and they know full well that there’s going to be major problems.
The reality is that until maybe this year or the year before, these were expensive toys for the 1% to show off about how virtuous they are with their $100,000 sports cars that were saving the planet.
